Not me. I had 2 periods before my mother discovered blood on my underwear and realized I was having them. It was the summer before 5th grade and she thought she had time to talk to me about it. In the meantime I was scared to death I was going to die. I had this blood and this abdominal pain and I guess I could not talk about it to anyone. I know I stayed home from a family outing due to being sick and my grandmother watched me. I just can't recall why I didn't tell her. I loved her dearly and trusted her. Menopause was a breeze for me though. My mother and sisters, too. I cant remember anything negative about it.
